I am convinced Charlotte is only about 20% Panther fans

When the fuggin Broncos almost outnumber panther fans, that is fugging sad. This funk that started with the Cardinal playoff loss has got to end now. I met more Bronco fans yesterday with no ties what so ever to Denver or Colorado. Just random assholes from Raleigh, Wilmington, etc claiming diehard fan status.

We are a new franchise and we won't have total loyalty until our kids grow up Panthers fans. It takes time.

Oh and this guy named Peyton Manning helps too. Most fans are fair weather and don't post on football forums.

we're a state of wal-mart tar heels and blue devils who know nothing other than national titles and universal acclaim. the panthers have never won anything in their lifetime so you get poo like this.

it happened during the saints super bowl run too-people just couldn't understand why i was pulling for the colts over them.

On the train from Raleigh there were some bandwagon bronco's fans who were really just Peyton Manning fans. Another Broncos fan walked by with a Rod Smith jersey and they didnt know who that was. As I'm sitting in the stadium at about 12 there seemed to be 90 percent Broncos fans in their seats early, it was......discouraging. I was in seat 27 row 26 sec 521 and was surrounded by Denver fan's. I know NC is full of transplants but this was crazy. When I caught some of the game on DVR at home it looks even worse, a sea of orange.

1) Charlotte is a city of transplants who are loyal to the teams they grew up with.

2) Not every Carolina native dropped their favorite team to support the upstarts. Love and loyalty run deep in many fans.

3) If the team were more successful the youth of the area would jump aboard. No one likes a loser.

    • I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.
    • Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
    • According to Scott Fowler, in an article about former Panthers announcer applying for a job with the Ravens... what that job pays, incidentally, when the Ravens posted it publicly they said the salary would be $4,000 to $5,000 per game. An NFL season consists of 20-24 games, including the preseason and potential playoff games, so it will end up somewhere between $80,000 and $120,000 a year. The person hired will be an independent contractor, which is commonplace in the NFL these days for team broadcasters, and also have other radio and TV hosting assignments.  https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article315839800.html
